Win tomorrow and we should be back in the top half, despite our sluggish start. 3 points please, Villa!

Yup we really need to kick start our season on and off the pitch in the next couple of days.

Sorry I’m struggling, what’s perceived goal of the “big 6” in terms of this fixture being moved?

Our unfashionable timeslot means that our game will get lower viewing figures, limiting our ability to grow our global brand by having the good consumers of Michigan or Mendoza marvel at our 2-0 home defeat by Crystal Palace.
2.00p.m. or 3.00 p.m. respectively doesn't seem too inconvenient.

...It's bloody inconvenient for me, though, as I fly out of BHX at 08.15hrs on Monday morning, meaning two trips to Birmingham in the space of 12 hours!

Ive got to say that my big concern tomorrow is VAR.
I just hope it isn't in the conversation post-game.

I think Unai will go back to that 4-2-2-2 sort of formation he started off with.

Whoever plays, the biggest factor tonight is the vibes.  It’s been a shit transfer window and feels like it couldn’t get worse.  The players out there need to set the tone from the off.
